On That Note: Unsung Heroes

Whoever played lead guitar on this song (apparently it wasn't Jesse Colin Young, the singer), which has stuck with me since 1969.

 
Not able to post videos right now, but a few to note:

- Shirley Manson - Garbage
- Paul Rodgers - Bad Company
- Michael Hutchence - INXS
- Sia
- Marian Hill - they're sort of synth-pop sexy, and her voice is amazing. Start with "Down"
- Banks
- Blossom Dearie

I'll take liberties and post a couple of clips for you from that list. :)



 
One often thinks the original is the best (in this case from John Denver), but I came to the conclusion years later, that Mary Travers made this song (another one from 1969). Her vocal is unparalled. .

In 1979 I went to a Cheap Trick concert in Omaha, Nebraska. The opening act was some band named AC/DC. The night before the Cheap Trick concert, Kansas played at the Civic Auditorium. The encore was Carry On My Wayward Son and Rick Nielsen came out and played with the band. Fun times when tickets were dirt cheap.
